FAQ
You can avoid repossession by reinstating or refinancing the loan, selling/surrendering your car, or contacting your lender to ask for other options. If you're having issues handling your car loan or other debt, bankruptcy might be a good option for you.
Obtaining a repossession title involves completing specific paperwork to transfer ownership from the previous owner to the lienholder. This paperwork often includes an application for a repossession title, a bill of sale, and a certificate of repossession.
Bankruptcy Can Stop the Repossession Process Bankruptcy can sometimes help cancel the debt, or even allow you to stop the repossession process. After filing a bankruptcy petition in bankruptcy court, all creditors are prevented from making any further collection attempts.
And in some states, doing this might be illegal. But if you keep the car locked in a garage or behind a chained gate, the creditor can't repossess the car because it would be breaching the peace (damaging property).
Repossession, colloquially repo, is a "self-help" type of action in which the party having right of ownership of a property takes the property in question back from the party having right of possession without invoking court proceedings.
For example, you typically cannot enter the debtor's home without permission unless you have a court document that allows you to do so. Also, you typically must provide the debtor with advance written notice of your intention to repossess the property.
The creditor would place a lien on the borrower's property.
You Must be Given Notice and the Right to Cure: most states require creditors to provide notice to debtors prior to repossessing property. The notice usually contains the legal authority the creditor has to repossess the property.
If a peaceable retaking isn't possible—again, say you locked your car in the garage so the repo company can't get it—the creditor may use a replevin process to get possession of the item. With replevin, the creditor goes to court to get an order requiring you to hand over the property.
